    EARLY REGISTRATION ENDS MAY 31. In conjunction with faculty at Memorial University and Georgia State University, we announce an eight-hour live, synchronous, 'hands on,' interactive, audio- and video-supported online academic workshop on covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) using the open source R system for statistical computing on July 23-24 @ 12 Noon - 4PM EDT (GMT-5). The workshop combines 'how-to' instruction on CB-SEM techniques at both the introductory and more advanced levels with numerous live, 'hands on' exercises and associated data sets.

    The presenter is Joerg Evermann, an associate professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's Canada. Dr. Evermann has presented similar workshops and relevant papers at the ACIS, AMCIS and ICIS International conferences, and he has published relevant articles in numerous academic journals.

    The early registration fee for faculty/practitioners is $250 USD (through May 31 using the discount code 'early' when registering, $295 after May 31) and for students $175 USD (through May 31 using the discount code 'earlystudent,' $220 after May 31 using the discount code 'student6'). There is much more information about the: (1) workshop; (2) workshop costs/policies; and (3) workshop instructor at the registration site: https://www.regonline.com/R-july-2010 (please copy and paste url into browser address bar).

    In addition to participating in the live workshop, participants also receive: (1) all workshop slides, materials, 'hands-on' exercises and data sets; (2) the open source R statistical software to use with their own data and research projects; (3) relevant citations and other literature; and (4) complete audio- and video- recordings of the workshop sessions (available at no extra charge for an extended period after the workshop is concluded).

    The workshop is presented using the award-winning Elluminate Live ! eDistance learning platform. All that is required to participate is a fast, reliable Internet connection (not dial-up). There is no cost for participants to use the Elluminate Live ! platform.
